It compensates the browser user for attention while protecting privacy. BAT connects advertisers, publishers, and users and is denominated by relevant user attention, while removing social and economic costs associated with existing ad networks, e.g., fraud, privacy violations, and malvertising.

BAT is a payment system that rewards and protects the user while giving better conversion to advertisers and higher yield to publishers. We see BAT and associated technologies as a future part of web standards, solving the important problem of monetizing publisher content while protecting user privacy.

BCD - Bitcoin Diamond

Bitcoin Diamond, another hard fork of Bitcoin, claims to solve this problem. The soon-to-be-released altcoin will fork once the Bitcoin network hits block height 495,866. By the time you read this article, that network block should have been discovered by miners already.

It is the third major airdrop Bitcoin users will receive this year, not counting the B2X coins from the borked SegWit2x launch. It has been a profitable year for BTC holders in many different ways; that much is certain.

What Bitcoin Diamond claims to offer is privacy first and foremost. It seems this fork’s developers have found a way to encrypt the transaction amounts and balances of all BCD users.

It sounds somewhat similar to Monero, but it is doubtful the Bitcoin Diamond implementation is even half as competent. A GitHub repo has yet to be created for this altcoin, but that may change once the correct block is found on the Bitcoin network.

BCN - ByteCoin

Bytecoin is the Next Generation cryptocurrency and the first cryptocurrency created with the CryptoNote technology. The ring signatures technology is used to provide Bytecoin with completely untraceable and anonymous transactions.

BCPT - BlockMason Credit Protocol

The name Blockmason indicates the craftsmanship, artisanship, and sweat equity to build the seamless networks of infrastructure, buildings, and architecture around us – the framework of life where we live, work, and play.

Blockmason contributes to the robust new foundations of life built on various blockchains, and enabling the next wave of human progress.

BTCP - Bitcoin Private

Private - Bitcoin Private uses the same privacy technology as ZClassic (zk-snarks). This means payments are published on a public blockchain, but the sender, recipient and other transactional metadata remain unidentifiable.

Decentralized -Just like Bitcoin, Bitcoin Private supports peer-to-peer transactions without an intermediary. These transactions are verified by network nodes through the use of cryptography and recorded in a public ledger.

Open Source - Bitcoin Private's entire codebase is publicly available for viewing and verification by anyone. It will always remain open source and be maintained by an ever growing community.

Community Driven - In the nature of transparency and open source, Bitcoin Private is developed by team members all over the world. Each member fills roles and contributes based on his or her skill sets.

BNB - Binance Cion

From the ICO, Binance issued its own token called the Binance Coin, with BNB as the symbol. BNB runs natively on the Ethereum blockchain and follows the ERC20 token standard.

The token was established with a total supply of 200 million. As per our whitepaper, Binance plans to use 20% of our profits each Quarter to buyback and burn BNB, until 50% of the total BNB supply (100 million) is burned.

The BNB token itself has multiple forms of utility, essentially being the underlying gas that powers the Binance Ecosystem. The current most prominent use cases include using BNB to:

- Pay for trading fees on the exchange, obtaining the equivalent of a 50% discount on trades (during the first year).

- Monaco has included support for Binance’s BNB token to its platform which includes the Monaco Visa Card and mobile app.

BNT - Bancor

The Bancor Protocol is a blockchain-based system for discovery and a liquidity mechanism supporting multiple smart contract platforms. The flexibility of these blockchains allows tokens to be locked in reserve and to issue smart tokens on the Bancor system, enabling anyone to instantly purchase or liquidate the smart token in exchange for any of its reserve tokens.

The BNT is the first smart token on the Bancor system and it will hold a single reserve in Ether. Other smart tokens, by using BNT as one of their reserves, connect to the BNT network. The BNT establishes network dynamics where increased demand for any of the network’s smart tokens increases demand for the common BNT, benefiting all other smart tokens holding it in reserve.

BTC - Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a currency born into the digital age. When using Bitcoin for the first time people should get an idea of how it works. Digital money is different than the traditional finance world is used to. It offers three core values in which many currencies cannot attain:

Decentralization, Open Source, and Peer-to-Peer networking. It is important to get an idea of how to use Bitcoin before investing in it or starting wallet. At Bitcoin.com we are very passionate about the protocol and want to help you learn along the way. There is a lot to learn, but it is not beyond your grasp. Bitcoin is a truly beautiful innovation, and it has the capacity to change the world. .

BTG - Bitcoin Gold

Bitcoin Gold is a community-led project to create an experimental hard fork of Bitcoin to a new proof-of-work algorithm.

The purpose of doing this is to make Bitcoin mining decentralized again. Satoshi Nakamoto’s idealistic vision of “one CPU one vote” has been superseded by a reality dominated by a very small number of entities, some of whom have engaged in abusive practices against individual miners and the Bitcoin network as a whole.

Bitcoin Gold provides an opportunity for countless new people around the world to participate in the mining process with widely-available consumer hardware that is manufactured and distributed by reputable mainstream corporations. A more decentralized, democratic mining infrastructure is more resilient and more in line with Satoshi’s original vision.

We want Bitcoin to be a shared and independent currency. We don’t want any fat cat to drive our monetary architecture. That’s why Bitcoin Gold was born, in order to bring Bitcoin mining back to the “people”.

The Bitcoin Gold organization works to support the Bitcoin Gold cryptocurrency in particular, and the cryptocurrency space in general. Current and future operations are funded by a crypto Endowment held in multi-sig time-locked wallets. Bitcoin Gold, BTG, is a cryptocurrency that began in 2017 as a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain.

Because Bitcoin Gold began as a fork, it contains the full transaction history of the Bitcoin blockchain up until the fork date, including the exact balances of Bitcoins held in wallets around the world. Any wallet address holding a Bitcoin balance immediately before the the fork held an equivalent balance of Bitcoin Gold immediately after the fork.

The original Bitcoin blockchain and the new Bitcoin Gold blockchain both continue onward independently after the fork, unaffected and unimpeded by each other. As a result of this process, a new cryptocurrency was born.

BTM - Bytom

BTS - BitShares

BitShares (BTS) was first introduced in a White Paper titled “A Peer-to-Peer Polymorphic Digital Asset Exchange” by Daniel Larimer, Charles Hoskinson, and Stan Larimer. It is a brand of open-source software based on the as blockchain technology as used by Bitcoin.

Unlike bitcoins, which do not produce any income for their owners, BitShare can be used to launch Decentralized Autonomous Companies (DACs) which issue shares, produce profits and distribute profits to shareholders. As such, BitShares is about making profitable companies that people want to own shares in, thus creating the return for the shareholders.

The first DAC launched by this process was called BitSharesX, a decentralized asset exchange based in Hong Kong. BitShares was originally launched under the name of ProtoShares (PTS); it was later renamed to BitShares (BTS) and "reloaded" in November 2014 by merging several products into BitShares (BTS).

DGD - DigixDAO

Digix provides a use case for the tokenization and documentation of physical assets through its Proof of Asset (PoA) protocol. The PoA protocol utilizes Ethereum and the InterPlanetary Files System (IPFS) to track an asset through its chain of custody. This allows for the open and public verification of an asset’s existence without a centralized database. Digix also offers an API allowing other applications to be built on top of our asset tokenization service.

Dgx Tokens are minted via a Minter Smart Contract. Each DGX token represents 1g of Gold and divisible to 0.001g. For every PoA Card that is sent to the Minter Smart Contract, DGX tokens will be issued in return. For instance, a 100g PoA Card sent to the Minter Smart Contract returns 100 DGX tokens to the user.

DOGE - Dogecoin

A Bitcoin clone that has reached success through clever marketing. Over the past year well over a hundred new cryptocurrencies have been created but not many have instantly carved out a niche.

Dogecoin has sponsored multiple high profile events such as Nascar teams and the winter Olympics - even so, there are few locations to use the coin - and instead, it has become a de facto internet tipping currency. The coin has produced 100 billion units by the end of 2014 and is now producing roughly 5 billion units per year.

DOPE - DopeCoin

DopeCoin is an online financial network and currency that people can use to send payments from one person to another. It is very similar to Visa and PayPal however, it is not owned or profited from by any one person or company.

DRGN - DragonChain

Dragonchain was originally developed at Disney’s Seattle office in 2015 and 2016 as the Disney Private Blockchain Platform. Over 20 use cases and applications were explored and documented 1 publicly via the W3C Blockchain Community Group.

The platform was later released as open 2 source software under the Apache 2 license in October of 2016. Dragonchain simplifies the integration of real business applications onto a blockchain and provides features such as easy integration, protection of business data and operations, currency agnosticism, and multi-currency support.

The Dragonchain Foundation, a Non-Profit Corporation was created in January of 2017 to maintain ownership and responsibility of the open source code. The Dragonchain team is now in the process of launching a commercial entity to build a serverless architecture blockchain platform and an incubator. The combination of serverless and blockchaintechnologies is unique and tremendously valuable. The timing of the Dragonchain platform launch is highly strategic to benefit from the explosive growth of cloud computing over the last few years and the emerging wave of Blockchain solutions entering proof of concept stage across enterprises.

ELA - Elastos

Elastos aims to create a new kind of Internet, powered by blockchain technology. On this new Internet, people will be able to own digital assets and generate wealth from them. Today, there is a seemingly infinite supply of digital books, movies, music and games. But people do not necessarily own their digital property.

You can purchase a digital book, for example, but you can’t sell it to anyone else. So, do you really own it? Elastos wants to make digital assets scarce, identifiable and tradable. Property rights pave the way for wealth creation, and Elastos intends to build a new World Wide Web that respects those rights.

The goal is to create an Internet that allows users to access articles, movies and games directly, without going through a media player or another platform intermediary. Elastos will use blockchain technology to issue IDs for digital content, making it possible to know who owns which digital assets.

On the Elastos Internet, filmmakers will know how many times their movies were viewed. The combination of Elastos and blockchain technology lays the foundation for a trustworthy and secure Internet of Wealth.

Elastos will be a platform for decentralized applications (Dapps) that runs on a peer-to-peer network with no centralized control. People can access these Dapps via their mobile phones, without changing their operating system. The old Internet is a Web of information. If you click a URL, you get data. Elastos is creating a Web of apps. When you click a URL, you get code. The Elastos Web will be a special economic zone where Elastos tokens function as the base currency.

ELF - Aelf

Aelf, is a decentralized self-evolving cloud computing network.

It brings three innovations namely scalable nodes on cluster of computers, resource isolation for smart contracts via “one chain to one smart contract” and voting by token holders.

ELF tokens are used to pay resource fees in the system, such as the deployment of smart contracts, operating and upgrading of systems (transaction fees, cross-chain data transfer fees). It also enables community to vote on major decisions, such as electing mining nodes, introducing new features to the system and other major decisions.

ENG - Enigma

A peer-to-peer network, enabling different parties to jointly store and run computations on data while keeping the data completely private. Enigma’s computational model is based on a highly optimized version of secure multi-party computation, guaranteed by a verifiable secret-sharing scheme.

For storage, we use a modified distributed hashtable for holding secret-shared data. An external blockchain is utilized as the controller of the network, manages access control, identities and serves as a tamper-proof log of events. Security deposits and fees incentivize operation,correctness and fairness of the system.

Similar to Bitcoin, Enigma removes the need for a trusted third party, enabling autonomous control of personal data.For the first time, users are able to share their data with cryptographic guarantees regarding their privacy.

ENJ - Enjin Coin

Virtual goods on the blockchain - A decentralized platform to create, manage, distribute, and trade virtual goods. Giving game developers and content creators a new model of virtual ownership

SDKs for the game industry - Enjin Coin platform is made for the game industry. SDKs for multiple languages, wallets and payment platforms will be available and completely open-source.

Gaming with true item ownership - Online gamers can bring or trade their assets from game to game, community to community, growing their digital wallet with real value as they play.

A solution to fraud and high fees - For every legitimate virtual item purchase, 7.5 items are lost to fraud. Enjin Coin minted virtual goods will guarantee trust and security with minimal transaction fees.

ETH - Ethereum

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference.

These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property.

This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without a middleman or counterparty risk.

The project was bootstrapped via an ether presale in August 2014 by fans all around the world. It is developed by the Ethereum Foundation, a Swiss non-profit, with contributions from great minds across the globe.

ETHOS - Ethos

The Ethos Token (ETHOS) is essential to the function of the Ethos platform. ETHOS is a Functional Token that will be used on the platform to access various features and fees. Furthermore, as ETHOS becomes more liquid over time, we anticipate it could be used to rebalance individual portfolios. In other words, liquidity generated by ETHOS from fee conversions and ETHOS trading pairs can be used in a “liquidity network” that would enable users to shift allocations between various currencies quickly and easily.

In short ETHOS Tokens will:

Be the payment mechanism for accessing and using services on the Ethos platform

Pay for transaction fees and API calls

Enable liquidity to help with changes in user asset allocations

However, ETHOS Tokens will NOT:

Pay dividends or profits of any kind

Enable holders to vote on company matters, or

Control the company in any way

In the future, Ethos Tokens may be used to send value, similar to PayPal. This is where we hope to get to and believe that it will require navigating technical and legal solutions with care and expertise.

FSN - Fusion

Fusion is a financial platform built on a public blockchain. The goal of the platform is to provide cross-chain, cross-organization, and cross-datasource smart contracts.

The platform will rely on the Fusion Protocol, which provides APIs to include different blockchain tokens, different off-chain values, and different datasources into one public chain. The goal is to make it possible for all kinds of people centralized organizations, and blockchain communities to help one another, benefit each other, and create a better future.

FUN - FunFair

FUN is the native digital token which powers every aspect of the FunFair gaming ecosystem. It is the betting chip that pits player against casino, the financial reward paid to developers for their games and the fuel that enables key processes on the network.

FAST - Sending FUN tokens to another compatible wallet is quick and easy thanks to the Ethereum blockchain.

OPEN - Although ownership of individual FUN tokens is anonymous, transactions are publicly recorded and trackable using a tool like Etherscan.

ERC20 - The FUN token is a digital asset administered by a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. Learn more about ERC20 tokens.

GAS - Gas

GAS is also known as NEO GAS and was designed to control the NEO network. NEO has two different coins. The first coin is the main cryptocurrency NEO and the other is NeoGas, also known as GAS. In addition, both cryptocurrencies have a limit of 100 million coins. The GAS cryptocurrency is used to control the management’s rights to the NEO coin. These rights include, for example, accounting reconciliation and changes to network parameters. It is also planned that the coins can be mined, but the function is currently not activated.

Every time a smart contract is fulfilled, the bookkeeping must be used, which is verified by the Blockchain technology. Companies on NEO blockchain must spend GAS to run their apps on the NEO system (e.g. smart contract registration fees) and this GAS is recycled back to the NEO holders AS WELL AS the newly generated GAS. So, as the NEO network grows and becomes more used then the GAS produced by holding NEO will increase and increase.

GNT - Golem

Golem enables users and applications (requestors) to rent out cycles of other users’ (providers) machines. Any user ranging from a single PC owner to a large data center can share resources through Golem and get paid in GNT (Golem Network Tokens) by requestors.

KMD - Komodo

Komodo (KMD) is a decentralized, open-source cryptocurrency launched in September 2016. It has evolved from BitcoinDark (BTCD) and is developed by the same developer ("jl777"), but the underlying software was forked from Zcash and the new cryptocurrency runs on the SuperNET platform, using SuperNET's infrastructure and software applications. Focusing on privacy and anonymity of transactions,

Komodo deploys a "delayed proof-of-work" (dPoW) consensus mechanism which relies on pre-voted notary nodes and which is secured by the Bitcoin (BTC) network. It uses Zcash's "zero knowledge proof" to (optionally) make transactions anonymous and untraceable.

KNC - Kyber Network

KyberNetwork, an on-chain protocol which allows instant exchange and conversion of digital assets (e.g. crypto tokens) and cryptocurrencies (e.g. Ether, Bitcoin, ZCash) with high liquidity. KyberNetwork will be the first system that implements several ideal operating properties of an exchange including trustless, decentralized execution, instant trade and high liquidity. Besides serving as an exchange,

KyberNetwork also provides payment APIs that will allow Ethereum accounts to easily receive payments from any crypto tokens. As an example, any merchant can now use KyberNetwork APIs to allow users to pay in any crypto tokens, but the merchant will receive payments in Ether (ETH) or other preferred tokens.

Although running on the Ethereum network, KyberNetwork’s roadmap includes supporting cross-chain trades between different cryptocurrencies using relays and future protocols like Polkadot and Cosmos. Ethereum accounts will be able to safely receive payment from Bitcoin, ZCash, and other cryptocurrencies via our payment APIs, through this trustless payment service.

Derivatives will be introduced to mitigate the exposure to the risk of volatilities for the users of KyberNetwork Crystals (KNC) and selected cryptocurrencies. This will allow users to participate in the price movements synthetically.

NEBL - Neblio

Blockchain’s unique distributed ledger technology is what makes the Neblio Network possible. This decentralized system of securely storing transactions is the future of database technology for global networks. Enterprise applications taking advantage of this technology gain numerous benefits over those using traditional database architectures including transaction immutability, transparency, security, reliability, and decentralization.

Despite the maturity of blockchain networks, few applications have taken advantage of the technology due to the difficulty, and cost of integration and maintenance. Unlike legacy blockchain networks, next-generation blockchain networks such as Neblio will fill the huge gap in the enterprise market to simplify the development and deployment of distributed applications that drive business value through blockchain technology.

A blockchain network such as Neblio is a decentralized peer-to-peer network of nodes that exchange information in the form of transactions; storing those transactions in an immutable distributed ledger. All nodes have a full copy of the ledger (known as the blockchain, due to being made of individual blocks) at all times. A node that would like to record information in the ledger first broadcasts a transaction containing the information to the network where it is relayed to all other nodes.

One node then compiles all new available transactions on the network into a block that is added to the blockchain. Once a block is stored on the blockchain, it and all of the transactions contained within it are immutable, meaning that the transactions cannot ever be altered in any way. When information on the ledger needs to be updated, as common with database systems, a new transaction is simply added to the ledger with the new information. However, the original information that was stored in the ledger remains intact and verifiable in a previous block for the entire life of the blockchain.

Building on top of this blockchain technology originally created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto for Bitcoin, the Neblio Blockchain provides distinct advantages for business and enterprise use cases for which bitcoin was not intended。

Digital Cash For Highly-Confidential Transactions

Private - SUMOKOIN is created with a high level of privacy in mind, setting Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) with minimum ringsize (mixin) of 12 to conceal sources/amounts transferred and make it high resistance to blockchain analysis.

Untraceable - SUMOKOIN is untraceable; sending and receiving addresses are encrypted, transacted amounts are obfuscated by default. Transactions on the SUMOKOIN blockchain cannot be linked to a particular user or real-world identity.

Decentralized - SUMOKOIN follows Satoshi Nakamoto's vision of decentralized, trustless cryptocurrency, i.e. a secure digital cash operated by a network of users. Transactions are confirmed by distributed consensus, and then recorded on the blockchain immutably. Third-parties do not need to be trusted to keep your SUMOKOIN safe.

Fungible - SUMOKOIN is truly fungible, thanks to built-in privacy features. Just like cash, all SUMOKOIN are equal, changeable. It is extremely unlikely that coin will ever be blacklisted by any party due to its association in previous transactions.

SYS - Syscoin

Syscoin is a permissionless blockchain-based cryptocurrency with a set of smart contracts which have been thoroughly tested and built on the Bitcoin scripting system using OP1 to OP16 standard script op-codes, representing coloured coin transactions, controlled by a hardened layer of distributed consensus logic for each smart contract (Syscoin service) while still retaining backwards compatibility with the Bitcoin protocol. These contracts can be combined to form building blocks for blockchain-based e-commerce solutions.

Syscoin’s hardened smart contracts are in contrast to turing-complete smart contracts, which, by definition, are not hardened due to the open-ended nature of the underlying scripting language. Commercial integrators who are looking for a secure solution to leverage the increased efficiency that blockchain technology allows compared with traditional e-commerce applications are better off trying to use a hardened service which cannot change and is well-tested with regression testing, white box, and black box testing, specifically targeting rules of the application. Integrators are also inclined to choose the most powerful network available (currently Bitcoin). Syscoin combines both of these features, making it a compelling choice of network for end users.
